other people.
A/N: Hello! Okay the deal with the sequel. Its probably best to read
Wolverine's Link first then it'll make more sense but if you want to be
slightly confuzzled then I'm not your and your free to go right ahead. But
for the love of god please review

Darkness. Feet pounding across the ground, running, try to get to
somewhere, to something. Suddenly the darkness blazed into light and the
person threw her arms up to shield her eyes. Once it dimmed slightly she
looked around. All she could see was fire and her friends calling for help.
She tried to grab their hands reaching up from the flame but it was no good
it was too hot. Suddenly she saw him writhing in pain. He wasn't burning on
the outside but on the inside! Running over to him she tried to no avail to
cool him. Suddenly his eyes bludged and his body exploded. Screaming she
woke.

Rune let out a gasp as she sat fully upright. Trying to catch her breath
she felt for Logan's tags around her neck. As her fingers brushed cool
metal she calmed slightly. Her breath came more steadily as she flopped
back down on her bed. That was the fifth time she had that nightmare yet it
still managed to have her awake gasping and her heart pounding. Rune knew
from experience that she wouldn't be able to get back to sleep. Swinging
her legs over the side of the bed she got up and walked into the kitchen.
Quietly she made herself comfortable at the table and got some paper work
that she had to finish. Since she had left Xavier's School for the Gifted
several months earlier she had spent that time helping former Black and
Green members find their families and start a new life. She also managed to
keep Black and Green under wraps, which had proved difficult to begin with.
Brian and Minnie had welcomed her to stay with them for as long as she
stayed in Australia and that helped a lot. It meant she only had to work
enough to pay for her share of the bills. But there were two things that
gnawed at Rune day and night. Firstly it was the fact she was no closer to
finding out if she indeed had a brother and if he was dead or alive. The
other had only come a short time ago and it was her reoccurring nightmare.
All she hoped was that it wasn't a prophetic dream.

Minnie found Rune asleep at the table, her head lying on some paper and a
pen still in her hand.
"Rune" Minnie whispered into her ear and pushed her slightly. There was a
change in Rune's breathing as she woke. Slowly she sat up and yawned.
"Nightmare again?" Minnie asked as she watched her friend. Rune nodded and
got up to make some coffee.
"Maybe you should take sleeping tablets?" Minnie sat down and looked at
the papers Rune had been working on.
"You know as much as I do I can't take those kind of tablets, that's what
you get when your mind is highly sensitive" Rune switched on the kettle as
she telekinetically opened the fridge and got the milk out. Minnie watched
her smiling.
"You're getting better at it"
"Its still freaks me out" both women looked up to see a dishevelled Brian
standing in the kitchen doorway.
"Sorry Brian" Rune teased and poured the boiling water into a mug for
herself and the others. "But I do need to practice" giving Minnie a kiss on
the forehead Brian sat down
"Yeah I know Rune, its still freaky" Rune chuckled and gave him a mug of
coffee. Minnie got up and got the sugar out of the cupboard and banged it
down on the table making Brian spill a bit of his coffee.
"You did that on purpose" Brian scowled. Minnie smiled sweetly before
wiping up the spill. Leaning against the counter Rune watched the playful
nature of the couple as she sipped her coffee. It reminded her of something
but she couldn't put her finger on it
"I'm thinking of going back to the states" the kitchen filled with silence.
"What? Why?" Minnie asked, staring wide eyed at Rune "You haven't even
found your brother"
"I'm not even sure if I have a brother Minnie" Rune replied looking down
into her coffee "Its just I've done all I can for Black and Green and I
have a feeling that these nightmares I've been having are somehow connected
to to.."
"Logan" Brian finished for her. Rune nodded and sipped her coffee.
"Why would it be?" Minnie sat back down but never took her eyes off Rune.
Rune shrugged "I don't know" she looked at the couple "I'm just thinking
about it okay, anyway today I'm going to the Red Cross see if they can help
me" pouring the rest of her coffee down the sink she went to have a shower.

Half an hour later Rune was speeding down one of the Melbourne highways on
her bike. She had bought it a month ago with the insurance money she had
got for her last bike. This one was even better. A sleek blue Rune couldn't
wait till she got to show it off to Logan. Slowing down she turned onto the
exit ramp and then left. The Red Cross building was huge with several
wings. Parking her bike as close as possible she secured her helmet,
unzipped her leather jacket and adjusted her bag before heading into the
building. She went up to the reception desk and gave her name and the woman
pointed her to an office. Knocking at the door Rune heard a gruff "Come
in" Inside was an old man sitting at a desk scribbling away.
"How may I help you?" he asked not looking up at her. She had a vague
feeling of recognition towards the old man.
"I'm trying to find my brother" Rune replied. This time the man stopped
writing and looked up at her.
"Please sit down" Rune sat down as the old man rummaged in a drawer. Taking
out several pieces of paper. He wrote something down then looked at Rune.
"Your name?"
"Rune Frost" she had finally found out her last name when she had raided
the computer network at Black and Green.
"Okay Miss Frost what do you have for me"
"Not much I'm afraid" Rune opened her bag and handed the man the photograph
of her and supposedly her brother.
"Is this all?"
"No" Rune took out her birth certificate and handed it to him
"Okay" the man said to himself and then wrote some things down "What's
going to happen Miss Frost is that I'll try and cross reference this birth
certificate on the data base and I'll contact you when we finish searching"
rune gave him another piece of paper
"That's my mobile number" Rune got up and shook the man 's hand.
"I'll be in contact with you"
"Thank you"
